So, now I've been struggling with LDAP too long. This gosa obviously doesn't work.
Is LDAP really completely unusable?
What administration tool should one use for LDAP really?
I'm in urgent need of a network authentification system, but nowhere I'm able to find
any kind of doc saying simply what to do.
The doc athttp://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html
wasn't really helpful as it stays at too low level.

It would be great if one could get hints about how to administrate the system already at the installation (e.g. in synapse), and how come that this gose system is not even possible to run?
OK, it's from universe so one shouldn't expect it to be tested.
Sorry if my comments were out of subject, but nowhere I can find a simple doc saying what simple network authentification system to use, and how to sync the info with shadow and passwd, and here I see that one month has passed, without further comments on how to fix the problem to make gose runnable.

I was tying to install gosa(apt-get install gosa gosa-schema ldap-utils) in Karmic(9.10) and got the following error:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_gosa_version() in /usr/share/gosa/include/php_setup.inc on line 80"

So I tryed the Nathan`s fix and got the following error:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function print_array() in /usr/share/gosa/include/class_dhcpPlugin.inc on line 206"

After that, i tryed to instal the slapd alone, and:
The OpenLdap, In Karmic(9.10) , there is a problem in the scrpits installation.
It is not asking the "admin password", and any other question of the initial set of questions on the installation.
I believe that is because the changes on the conf. files of the sladp (there is no more slapd.conf).

After a had putted the slapd to run correctly, I got back to GOSA, and again I got th following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function print_array() in /usr/share/gosa/include/class_dhcpPlugin.inc on line 206

(Equivalently, go to System > Administration > Software Sources > Other software > Add, and enter the above line as the APT line.) Then update, and you can install gosa 2.6.9, where this problem is fixed.

For the problem in the Instalation of GOSA
Fatal error: Call to undefined function print_array() in /usr/share/gosa/include/class_dhcpPlugin.inc on line 206
for delete gosa the comand is:
apt-get purge --remove gosa
